I have looked through your packages on bierrommel.de and am pretty much
impressed by what you have all done.  Somehow your Linux activities do not
seem to match the remaining bits of what bierrommel.de is about, which
makes it all even more impressive.

I am confident that you find sponsors for your work on this list, if you
want them. And just in case that you are not aware of it, there is the
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer concept to avoid the need for local
repositories and http://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning/Offers#DE for local
contacts and key signing.

Are you in contact with Gilles, the navit maintainer, on this issue?

Many thanks and greetings

Steffen
